The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is a dynamic, academically oriented hospital that promotes integration of research and clinical care. Fully affiliated with the University of Toronto, CAMH is Canada’s largest mental health research and teaching institute and a World Health Organization (WHO) collaborating site. Research at CAMH aims to translate understanding of the causes of mental illness and addictions into more effective treatments.
A clinical psychology post-doctoral fellowship in addiction treatment and clinical research is available for the 2019-2020 academic year. The fellowship will be based in the CAMH Addictions Division and the Ambulatory Services outpatient program. The primary roles of the fellow will be 1) to complete postdoctoral training in the assessment and treatment of substance use disorders in the context of a multidisciplinary outpatient addiction program, and 2) to complete training in clinically oriented research on substance use disorders. Both roles will involve engaging in treatment services for outpatients under the supervision of a licensed clinical psychologist. The position will also include clinical roles on grant-funded projects in the areas of addiction neuroscience and addiction treatment (e.g., randomized trials).

This position requires a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and the completion of an accredited clinical psychology internship program as of the fellowship start date. Strong experience in the clinical assessment and treatment of concurrent disorders in an outpatient context is required. Demonstrated proficiency in empirically based treatment approaches (e.g., cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing) is required. Experience with group treatment approaches is desirable. The ideal candidate will have strong interests in the delivery and evaluation of substance use disorder interventions, and will possess the ability to independently engage in clinical assessment and intervention roles with weekly supervision. Experience with human subjects research in the area of substance use disorders, in particular experience with treatment outcome/evaluation research, is highly desirable. Eligibility to apply for registration with the College of Psychologists of Ontario (in either a supervised practice or autonomous practice role) as of the fellowship start date is required. However, completion of the registration process prior to or during the fellowship start date is not required.
The successful candidate will possess strong attention to detail, strong communication, interpersonal and leadership skills, and will be responsive to deadlines and performance feedback.

Postdoctoral Position in Affective and Clinical/Translational Neuroscience
University of Maryland, College Park, MD
Candidates are being considered for a NIMH-funded postdoctoral position in the laboratory of Dr. Alex Shackman in the Department of Psychology at the University of Maryland at College Park ( http://shackmanlab.org/ ). The overarching mission of the lab is to have a deep impact on the fields of affective and translational neuroscience. To that end, we do our best to perform innovative studies that can lead to significant discoveries, to disseminate our discoveries as widely as possible, and to mentor trainees to become top-notch scientists. The focus of this position will be to support on-going projects aimed at understanding the neurobiology of fear and anxiety and its role in the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders, depression, substance abuse, and psychosis. A secondary focus will be on linking variation in the function of that circuitry to thoughts, feelings, and behavior in the real-world, indexed using smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA) and GPS-tracking techniques. There will be opportunities to become involved in other projects and to develop new analytic strategies. We are particularly excited about candidates with a strong background in fMRI methods or other kinds of computationally intensive signal processing (e.g. machine learning), but will also consider those with expertise in other areas of affective/cognitive neuroscience or data science/scientific programming. We want someone who is comfortable teaching themselves new techniques and who can jump right into doing science, so decent-or-better coding and statistical skills are mandatory. Applicants should have a Ph.D. in a relevant field and excellent organizational and interpersonal skills. This is a 1-year position that is renewable, contingent on performance and funding. Applicants should send a cover letter or portfolio describing relevant skills, experience, and interests— please provide concrete details about your technical contributions to past projects . Please include a current CV and contact information for 2-3 references to Dr. Shackman ( shackman@umd.edu ). Applicants will be considered until the position is filled.
